Wow! A Gimix system - I think the only time I saw one of those was in an 
advertisement somewhere. Maybe at a computer museum. Treat that machine 
like you would anything else of that vintage, especially in regards to 
the power supply (caps can easily explode without warning!). Are you 
planning on restoring it?

The closest thing to that much cool I have is an Altair 8800, but it 
looks nowhere near as "ready to run" as those machines you have there 
(boy, do I have a job ahead of me someday).

Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to see and hear about them more!
